Acceleration issue

[Joe1906]

I have a Mk1 Octavia vRS.

***ISSUE***

[emoji17] So, was being um.... 'Heavy footed' when coming off a round about and then a long straight with an Audi S3 in front of me. (Not racing [emoji12]) all was fine until I stopped at Co-op to get some beers!

When I went to start my engine, it seemed very slow in starting and struggled to pick up the revs!

I then noticed it felt like I wasn't getting Much acceleration and wasn't boosting properly.

I also noticed when under load and changing gear, was a slight knock. Sounding like it came from front left engine area :-)

Any ideas?

I know it's a stab in the dark.... But hey ho! Just thought I'd ask to see if anyone has any bright ideas before I shove it in the garage on Monday :-)

TIA

Try a scan, sounds like that scenario would have thrown a code. It sounds MAFfy to me but it could be anything at this stage.

Here's a stab in the dark. Check your airbox mountings and MAF security, if that's started bouncing around or vibrating for some reason (the knocking?) then it could lead to dodgy readings from the maf sensor being shaken about...but that is a stab in the dark.

Apologies but I'm too old for this tagging business, I don't even know what you mean

I only use on Tapatalk as I can't work the normal forum. It's confuses me and the lay out isn't user friendly in my opinion
